Lyrics No Transkei - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

No Transkei

This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It’s the strangest thing I’ve seen
One bud, only just started to show
And the leaves are the lightest green
It’s had it’s share of the rain
It needs some feeling to light
It’s fiery flame again
But one cruel lie and it could die
Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow
Don’t kill it Carol
Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow
Don’t kill it Carol
This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It could grow to be so strong
Born one night in the calm of the storm
It was made for a rock and roll song
It’s only just seen the light
It could so easily fall back
To the gentle night
But one cruel lie and it could die
Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow
Don’t kill it Carol
Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow
Don’t kill it Carol
This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It could grow to be so strong
Born one night in the calm of the storm
It was made for a rock and roll song
It’s only just seen the light
It could so easily fall back
To the gentle night
But one cruel lie and it could die
Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow
Don’t kill it Carol
Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow
Don’t kill it Carol
